I don't exactly feel as though the World Cup fever this year has really sunk in. I have watched a couple of matches, all of England's ones. Yet, I don't exactly feel the fervour and excitement of it all. I suppose, its the guilt I feel from watching the games, knowing that in a couple of days my examinations would be starting. But nonetheless, since I am more or less relieved of the burden of the exams. I will indulge in 2 games this weekend. Argentina vs Germany and England vs Portugal. I am pretty bouyed by the fact that I correctly predicted Spain to crash out of the World Cup. When everyone was making a fuss about them playing really well. And I had an enjoyable time telling people yesterday. See, I knew it.
And I have taken another unusual step of predicting that Argentina will defeat Germany tonight. Be it in regular time. Or extra time. Or on penalties. My guess is that Argentina will triumph. Let's see if I get this one right. Then I will go to school on Tuesday with a big smirk on my face. If I don't, I will stop predicting winners and keep to enjoying soccer as it is.
Going for a kickabout later, and I have been dying to play. I have not been my usual self since that game back in May. It haunts me, it really does. Everytime I see an opponent running at me, I sort of get nightmares. Become confused and worrried. And the confidence I had running at defenders is gone. And I really want all the confidence back, the ability to run at defenders, to take a chance with a shot, or whatever. I also suppose its time for me to start training up on my stamina and physical fitness. I am going to train hard, to lay down the ghost of that game.
Anyway, thanks Keyang for sending me the singles of the 2 finalists of American Idol, I am certainly looking forward to Singapore's own version.
Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
